Thank you, Achilleas. This issue came up today again - check_postgres reports
a long-running query, but no corresponding entry in the Postgres log even though
I have log_min_duration_statement turned on.
I followed your suggestion and found what query check_postgres uses (below).
Turns out the long running query is a transaction and it was never completed!
Now, is there any way for me to look inside that transaction and see
what the queries
are?
check_postgres query to identify long-running queries:
SELECTxact_start,
SUBSTR(current_query,0,100) AS current_query,
client_addr,
client_port,
procpid,
COALESCE(ROUND(EXTRACT(epoch FROM now()-query_start)),0) AS qtime,
datname,
usename
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE current_query <> '<IDLE>' AND usename <> 'postgres'
ORDER BY xact_start, procpid DESC;
My long-running query that is in the middle of a transaction:
xact_start | current_query | client_addr |
client_port | procpid | qtime | datname | usename
------------------------------+-----------------------+-------------+-------------+---------+-------+---------+-----------
2012-03-07 09:53:15.49363-08 | <IDLE> in transaction | |
-1 | 31881 | 6824 | [redacted] | [redacted]
(1 row)
Thanks,
Aleksey
